A specialty of Ravar is the thousand flower design which covers the whole field. Vases, cypresses, as well as other mainly floral ornaments, including those found in Kerman carpets, are preferred.
Patterns:
Amongst the many designs are found the majority of Persian floral motifs, including arabesques and flower-stems, palmettos, rosettes, blossom and leaf motifs. Rugs with medallion, mirror and vase designs, and pictorial rugs are less common.
Foundation:
Warps and wefts are of finely spun cotton or silk.
Knots:
Ravar rugs are woven in the Persian knot, with high knot densities, up to 5000 knots per sq.dm.
Pile:
The highest quality wool is used, spun even finer than that of Kerman rugs. The pile is clipped very short.
Quality:
Even new Kerman-Laver rugs are amongst the most expensive Persian carpets and there is a good chance that they will increase in value. Old and antique pieces, found in the better carpet shops and at auction, are among the best products of 19th and 20th century Persian urban carpet weaving. Rather than subjecting them to wear on the floor, it is recommended that they be used as decorative wall hanging.
